Elva and I met when I was 16 years old and began working at the Citrus Theater in Edinburg. At that time, her father, the late Jimmy Longoria, was the manager of the local movie theaters.

We just learned today of Elva's death and we felt very bad for her death and for Richard. We were neighbors for many years and if have to define what was more significant about Elva, it was her smile. She was gentle and very nice, a true lady. Our deepest condolences to the whole family and much especially to Richard.

I met Elva for the first time in June 2005 as Richard was taking oath to become McAllen's Mayor. There she was next to Richard's side. Elva and Richard became our friends since then. Today Sylvia andI feel sad to know that Elva is no longer in this life with us. Our deepest condolences to Richard and all the Cortez' family.

I am so sorry to know of Elva's passing and know that her loss has sadden your entire family. May you find strength from the memories of her smile,her voice and the times that all of you shared. She was always kind and sweet everytime I met her walking around the block. May she rest in peace and may God bless all of her love ones. Hilda Medrano
